Instructions

    1.
    Chop raw chicken breast into cubes and season with salt, pepper, oregano, red pepper, and onion powder. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is browned on all sides.
    2.
    Reduce the heat to medium and add thin-sliced bell pepper to the pan. Cook for approximately 4 minutes until the peppers are browned and tender.
    3.
    Reduce the heat to low and melt the butter in the center of the pan. Stir in the garlic and white wine vinegar into the butter and mix all the pan’s ingredients together.
    4.
    Pour the cream into the pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes. Set this pan aside to keep warm for later.
    5.
    In a clean pan, toss the broccoli florets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Cook the broccoli over medium heat until the florets start turning golden brown.
    6.
    Squeeze the lemon juice into the pan and toss the broccoli. Reduce the heat to low and melt the remaining butter into the pan. Toss the broccoli in the butter and cook until the broccoli is lightly charred.
    7.
    Serve 6-7 pieces of chicken with their sauce and a fair share of broccoli per serving.
